Fierce autumn wind tears at our coats
Torrents splash and spill down drains
Jack Frost bides his time and gloats
Delays upset commuter trains...
Lone gunman* kills in quiet Maine,
Fast Acapulco floods are dire
Journalists exit the Ukraine
To Middle East – on tightrope wire …
I seek some good news to impart
As homeless and food prices rise
But who can kindle one bright spark
And bring hope to our next sunrise?
(c) Poet in the woods 2023
Acapulco, Mexico
* 27th October: Robert Card (found dead) killed 18 people in a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine.
